Not needed: Normal Temperature, Normal pulse Oximeter. Blood pressure borderline high. Talk to your regular GP about the blood pressure and treat other symptoms with fever reducers/pain relievers, nasal decongestants and cough suppressants. Go to hospital for difficulty breathing, pulse Oximeter less than 93%, persistent chest pain, new onset confusion or lethargy.
